X-Rite Incorporated announces the expansion of its Judge LED product line to include the larger Judge LED Plus light booth, hanging LED luminaires, and custom-configured Harmony Rooms.
This expanded offering enables brands and manufacturers to evaluate and assess the color of small individual components or large assembled products under seven distinct LED light sources that simulate a range of lighting conditions. Designed to meet a variety of visual color evaluation needs, the Judge LED portfolio helps ensure consistent color throughout the supply chain, minimizing waste, rejects, and costly rework.
“Industries worldwide are navigating the transition to energy-efficient LED lighting, and visual assessment practices must keep pace,” says Esengul Ozkaya, product manager, X-Rite. “Our expanded line of Judge LED solutions, from larger light booths to hanging luminaires, gives brands and suppliers the flexibility to select the right solution for their product needs and space while improving decision-making and confidence in color-critical evaluations.”
Building on 60 years of lighting expertise, the Judge LED portfolio delivers fast, consistent, and repeatable color evaluations. Products offer instant warm-up, calibrated intensity, and stable illuminants, while reducing energy use, extending lamp life, and lowering replacement costs compared to traditional fluorescent systems.
The seven light sources can be customized from industry-standard illuminants, including LED D50, LED D65, LED-B2 3000K, LED 3500K, LED-B3 4000K, LED L31-9, UV, LED A, CWF LED, TL84 LED, U30 LED, and U35 LED. Directional daylight D65 is also available in the standard size booth.
The full Judge LED offering includes:
• Judge LED Standard – Standard-size booth for individual use with a variable-angle viewing stand for accurate, repeatable results.
• Judge LED Plus – A wider light booth that accommodates two evaluators standing side by side, ideal for collaborative assessments of multiple samples on a shared table.
• Judge LED Luminaires – Modular, high-performance luminaires for standalone or integrated setups, with flexible configurations and control boxes for switching between illuminants.
• Harmony Room with Judge LED – Immersive lighting environment using luminaires in a grid configuration, certified and maintained by X-Rite for precise evaluation of large, assembled products such as cars, furniture, and appliances.
Judge LED luminaires allow manufacturers to evaluate products of all sizes, from fabric rolls and painted car panels to furniture, electronics, and fully assembled appliances. Evaluators can walk around products, collaborate in real time, and make confident decisions under controlled, standardized LED lighting.
“Our goal is to help customers achieve flawless color evaluation in any setting,” adds Ozkaya. “Judge LED equips teams to ensure color harmony on even the most complex or large-scale assembled products, accelerating production and reducing the risk of costly errors.”
